KG-935H power results.

[WRUU653]

I received the new KG-935H yesterday and ran test on high power this morning with a fresh battery using my Surecom SW-102 and a *dummy load, here is what I got. I posted my KG-Q10H at ultra high setting results for comparison. I have not had a chance to take it out in the world as of yet.

* I mention this because obviously MURS and GMRS are not type approved and MURS output is way high at these settings. This is only a test, if this had been an actual emergency you would have heard screaming 

KG-935H

2m - 8.8 watts

1.25m - 4.6 watts

70cm - 8.4 watts

GMRS - 6.8 watts rept, 7.4 watts smpx 

MURS - 9.7 watts

KG-Q10H

2m - 4.5 watts

1.25m - 2.9 watts

70cm -  6.5 watts

6m - 1.1 watts

GMRS - 5.5 watts

MURS - 4.6 watts

I will be interested in a side by side comparison in TX and RX. The 935G+ is my favorite GMRS radio and my Q10H has taken over as my goto HAM HT. I purchased the Q10H one month before they came out with the 935H.

I am looking forward to trying this radio. I have a Nagoya NA-320A triband antenna along with the stock antennas. There are two 220 repeaters near me. I can hear both but only reach one so I am curious if the extra power this gives over the Q10H will be enough to hit the second repeater. I just don't have the time right now to play unfortunately. Family obligations... I hope Chirp is running with this soon, it should be easy enough given the similarities to the 935G, 935G plus and the UV8H.

Your results are similar to mine concerning the KG-Q10H. Though I tested mine on high power and not ultra high. I always forget that the Q10H has the ultra high setting.

2m - 4.43 watts

1.25m - 2 watts

70cm -  5.9 watts

6m - 1.5 watts

GMRS - 3.5 watts

MURS - 1.5 watts

There is a definite difference from what you got on MURS and GMRS using ultra high power compared to what I got using high power. Otherwise the rest are pretty close and could be the difference between the two radios or allowed tolerances of our SureCom SW-102's

I actually was about half done with my test when I remembered the ultra high setting and started over. I don't leave very much on that high of a setting. I would rather the battery last longer and just use what I need to get the job done. But yeah the power setting is probably the thing I forget the most. At least this time I remembered to make sure the battery was 100%.

Good info! 

Just order a 935G+ since i was looking for a dedicated GMRS and the 935H only does 3.5-5.5 watts on GMRS anyway. I already have the Q10H, which i have been happy with. 

I should test my Q10H output, though i only have a Surecom and my regular antennas to test with.

I did 6.8 on repeater (467.625) and 7.4 pretty much across the simplex channels (take another look at my info), that said you wont go wrong with the dedicated to GMRS KG-935G. It's a good radio.

@WRUU653 and myself have tested the KG-Q10H. Our results are posted above. I tested on high power while he tested on ultra high power. We had different results due to power setting we each used. And you will see differences between radios even when on the same power setting.

You can't go wrong with the 935G Plus. I've been very happy with mine.

Just curious, but did you do these measurements into a dummy load, or a Antenna ? I'm also considering a 935H.
